Looking forward to playing with the camera. My dissertation at college was Rasterizing Scanned Maps - automatically picking out contour lines from digitized topology maps to feed into a flight-simulator, so we could fly around anywhere in the world. I got quite a lot of the way there, but I think it's really applicable to automatic object recognition and navigation for robotics. I've got a Johnny-5 kit from LynxMotion I'm going to hook this up to - should be fun!
